D2Ds arriving late

Post by speedy »

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere.

1 lot of D2Ds didnt arrive until wednesday this week. Not mine but other peoples.

DOM says they can be carried over into next week for completion. I disagree.

Who is right???

You are, people have paid for the D2Ds to be delivered in a specific week and the DOM should have them delivered by Saturday even if it means paying someone to just deliver them.

The DOM. The disposition of D2D is covered by 16% per day, if they arrive late then the DOM uses his power of discretion.

Well - the proof of the pudding etc - we had the same situation last week - and you've guessed it - the same solution, but by agreement and quite rightly so, now the question is what would happen on a Wednesday specific, that arrives on Thursday.......................... it won't happen I hear you say - .................yes of course it will - deliver on Thursday or admit to the customer it was a busted flush?

Answers on a postcard..............................no,no just joking.

POSTCOMM have not classed DTD as mail, its simply a internal RML procedure to treat as normal mail.

Does the agreement not state something along the lines of them being presented in a professional manner on a Monday morning?
